This has to end early this week right? Especially with this purported 8 year offer.

I thought Baseball Cube did college stats?

He knows things based off what he was posting yesterday.

He said he has no sources.

As a west coast resident, I can safely say it's 4:48 PM.

Shrug. I'm still fairly optimistic. Sounds like someone who is frustrated with how long and ongoing the process has been.

Will be interesting to find out if Chili is also hearing bad news.

Oof

I really liked Larnach as well, but I don't think I would have popped him at #4. His CWS showing was great.

Huh?

Someone mentioned the Cardinals in a tweet today. Could possibly still be the mystery team. Or the mystery team is fake and just a leverage ploy.

Padres has always been my suspicion.

We don't need a second Fathom, thanks.

I'm flying in from California to go to my first SoxFest. A Manny appearance/signing would make it so worth it.

Aight. Phils sign Harper, Sox sign Manny. Wrap it up already.

Looks like it's pay-walled. I'll share the top 10 in list format. There are also brief write-ups on players if anyone has interest in specific ones. Carter Stewart is number 15 since I know someone is going to ask about him.

BA's top 100 draft prospects for the 2019 class is up. Maybe this can briefly distract me from Machado-mania. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2019-top-mlb-draft-prospects/

This thread sucks this morning. More Machado less Tatis plz.

It's just a tweet saying MM is nearing a 6-year, $210M deal with the Chicago White Sox. It's Jef Passan with one f, and it has 5 followers. It's very easy to find. I'm refraining from posting it here. SSS's article pretty much posted this tweet with a brief blurb about how a signing is near. SSS then deleted it after being informed he was sourcing an obvious fake.

He did. I @ed him on Twitter informing him it was fake, and he deleted the post on SSS.

No one posted the fake Passan tweet. I'm so proud.

From Law's chat today, regarding pick 1.1 Chip 1:05 Does Houston's recent draft history (hitting big w/Correa and Bregman and lots of hope for Tucker, missing on Appel and Aiken for various reasons) inform us at all as to what Elias likely does at 1/1? How does Rutschman compare to Wieters? Keith Law 1:07 I don't think it informs anything. There's no consensus #1 (not Rutschman, not Witt Jr.) and they may simply try to cut the best deal among the pool of candidates and then try to go over slot multiple times with later picks, as the Astros did in the Correa year, and the Phillies and Twins did in '16 and '17.

Time for a new thread? With a cheeky title?
